Can anybody let me know when is the right time to switch from bs brood box to 14x12? I'm in London on the edge of epping forest. My bees are still unbelievably busy bringing in pollen / nectar. I've got two hives, one brood an half and one bs brood that I made up of 2 nucs that only had one queen. The brood / half is doing great as is the single bs brood. Being a new beekeeper I'm just a bit concerned about getting the single brood through the winter regarding stores. I definitely want to switch to 14x12 poly for next year on one colony and run double brood on the other to make my own mind up which I prefer. Any advice would be appreciated.
